Scientific Working Group (SWG) on Scenarios for Climate-related Financial Analysis

The Scientific Working Group (SWG) on Scenarios for Climate-related Financial Analysis aims to facilitate the discussion of the potential use and development of integrated assessment modeling (IAM) scenarios for the finance sector, companies, regulators, and other stakeholders, for the purpose of assessing financial risk due to climate change (physical risk) and climate policy (transition risk) as well as informing about the potential role of finance in transition pathways to a low carbon future. The Finance SWG will serve the Integrated Assessment Modeling Consortium (IAMC) and the advancement of science for climate-related financial analysis by facilitating the exchange of ideas and coordination within the IAMC. It can also facilitate and coordinate interactions of the IAMC community with potential scenario user groups in the finance sector, including asset owners, asset managers, strategic planners, development and central banks.
